Savage, be the feature of next week's screen program at Crandall's Tivoli Theater, with Viola Dana as its star. The story is a sprightly one concerning the experiences of an unsuccessful commercial artiste, who &pent all but a dollar or two of her money to reach Action, Me., because, being full of pep, she liked the name of the place. Once arrived she per- suaded a crabbed old furniture dealer 10 give her room and board for one week, in return for which she guar- | anteed to boost his sales sufficiently | to make it pay. When Israel Hubbard left town for a day, Ruth Ambrose put over a huge sale, cleancd the place up, paid the rent and had a nice surplus left over in the safe. She then proceeded to make Israel almost mayor and herself tumbled into a romance.
